First time going here, I didn't even know this was an ice cream spot. I got some chocolate ice cream and it was absolutely delicious ! Seriously happy I came across this spot and decided to try it out. Most definitely will be coming back here with friends & family !

Best ice cream place!
Highly recommend Pistachio flavored ice cream

Good selection of ice cream and a very cute old-fashioned aesthetic, but overpriced. I got the mint chip flavor and it was delicious.

When there is a long line, you know the ice cream will be good! The Franklin Fountain is a beautiful ice cream shop located in old Philadelphia. The employees were all super friendly and they have unique and yummy flavors! I appreciated vegan and gluten free options. I got the vegan pumpkin in a cup it was delicious! Super smooth ice cream. Only thing was it was expensive but it was a nice treat!

The best ice cream EVER. A true staple in Philly! The ice cream is served in a Chinese take out box. The flavor options are endless! Street parking only! 10/10 summer spot!

Family-friendly words can not describe how good the milkshakes are here. I had the Sea Salt Caramel, and my wife had the Hydrox Cookie the Original OREO. I assume that we both got 'regular' thickness for our shakes because the cashier did not ask us what thickness we wanted and there was not an extra charge on the bill. So if my assumption is correct, WOW! We walked two blocks back to our car and drove 45 minutes home. I still had a little bit of milkshake left when we got home. That's how THICK it was. The flavor was perfect. We went on a Tuesday night, and there was still a line ending outside of the store. I can't wait to go again. I recommend purposely parking a few blocks away to help burn off those delicious calories.

UNREAL! The best ice cream I have eaten. If you want ice cream this is worth the drive and a must do in Old City. I can taste that this is how ice cream is supposed to. The unique profiles are all there as is the texture, sweetness, complexity of all of the flavors combined. They also have drink refreshers too, and additional sundaes.

Stopped by for a treat after dinner. The sea salt caramel was incredible! My granddaughter tried the chocolate and loved every bite of it. There's so much more than ice cream, though. You won't regret ruining your diet by stopping here. Can't recommend it enough.

The Honey Comb Ice Cream is a must, from the bee hive on the roof! Worth the wait. Most expensive ice cream... soft pretzel was okay. Old fashion ice cream parlor vibe.
